leading us to ask, why? because a vocal minority on the hard left continues to argue to leaders on their party from the president down the democrats in washington should do absolutely nothing about short-term or long-term spending problems. this is the thelma and louise crowd that wants to dream about high taxes and bigger government that it will pay for, regardless of the impact on jobs or the economy or america's standing in the world. these are the ones who have recklessly ignored the fact we cannot keep running trillion dollar deficits every year. somebody suggests that maybe the taxpayers should not keep subsidizing every last program. their reckless and idiotic approach threatens our very future. anyone who is serious about solving the problems we face should ignore all of that, starting with the president. the election is over, but the economy and fiscal problems of the past several years have only gotten worse. it is time for the president to present a plan that rises above these reckless and radical
